Right.  Removed already.  Thanks.

Yes, thanks, I just didn't pay attention to the socket and path old
units.  Just the cups.service.

After disabling the remaining cups.socket and cups.path, rebooting,
stopping and disabling org.cups.cupsd.service, and starting and
enabling it again, I now don't see the dmesg cups stuff, thanks:

% dmesg | 'grep' cups
%

However I still don't get cups working (not on the web interface,
neither lpinfo):

% sudo find /etc/systemd/ -name '*cups*'
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/org.cups.cupsd.path
/etc/systemd/system/printer.target.wants/org.cups.cupsd.service
/etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/org.cups.cupsd.socket

% lpinfo -v
lpinfo: Bad file descriptor

I noticed org.cups.cupsd.service just fails:

% systemctl status org.cups.cupsd.service

Notice I restarted it several times after some intermediate trials...

if I run cupsd directly:

% sudo cupsd
cupsd: Child exited with status 1

Which is even more weird to me.  cups named packages installed:

% pacman -Qs cups
local/cups 2.0.0-2
    The CUPS Printing System - daemon package
local/cups-filters 1.0.61-2
    OpenPrinting CUPS Filters
local/cups-pdf 2.6.1-2
    PDF printer for cups
local/lib32-libcups 1.7.5-1
    The CUPS Printing System - client libraries (32-bit)
local/libcups 2.0.0-2
    The CUPS Printing System - client libraries and headers

I tried re-installing cups and libcups with no sucees (just in case)...

I'm still in the dark, sorry, :-(

Thanks,
